The WPwhale pugin for wordpress

The WPwhale plugin is a wordpress plugin that allows you to interact directly with a Social Whale group from a wordpress page. Users can see status updates in real time and they can post to your group and twitter.

The plugin is open source (GPL license) so feel free to make your own adjustments and share them with our community.

Here is a screenshot from the plugin with the default style sheet:

You can see a demo at the wordcamp’s web site

Download

You can download the plugin from here. To install, follow the instructions in the readme file. We will update soon this post with more information regarding the project.

To make this event even better we’ve just released a new feature to our application which we are going to insert in our Betavine client at the developer workshop today.

From now on you can use Social Whale to send status updates in all your favorite social networks. At the moment this new feature is available for twitter, facebook, identica, myspace and friendfeed. In addition this new feature allows you to connect to other social networks as well, something that will be used to your extended profile page (the extended profiles is under construction so expect a post here later about it)

For instructions how to use this new feature just watch the video:

What comes up next? Well we are about to play more with social networking services and give you the ability to read your streams from them as you do for twitter now. In other words we will try to expand our service and make it an one stop place for all your social media needs. As this is a feature under development you can help/participate by letting us know of your opinion. Any idea is more than welcome, and after all Social Whale is a community web site, meaning that your opinion really matters to us :)
